Introduction
Adobe has announced a major update to its generative AI platform, Adobe Firefly, offering unlimited AI-powered image and video generation to paid subscribers. This move eliminates the long-standing monthly credit limits and significantly expands creative flexibility for professionals and enterprises using Firefly.
Background and Context
Previously, Firefly operated on a credit-based system that restricted how many AI generations users could create each month. These limits often constrained high-volume creative workflows, especially for agencies, content studios, and marketing teams. Adobe’s latest update marks a strategic shift toward unrestricted usage, positioning Firefly as a comprehensive creative AI studio.
Technical Detail
Under the new model, Firefly subscribers can generate unlimited images and videos using both Adobe’s native models and integrated third-party AI models, including:
- Image and video models developed by Adobe Firefly
- Image generation models from Google
- Image generation powered by OpenAI
- Runway Gen-4 Image models
The unlimited generation capability applies across Firefly’s ecosystem, including:
- Firefly web platform
- Firefly Boards collaborative workspace
- Firefly mobile apps for iOS and Android
- Browser-based Firefly video editor
Video generation under this offer supports output resolutions up to 2K.
Availability and Plans
Adobe confirmed that unlimited AI image and video generation is available to:
- Firefly Pro subscribers
- Firefly Premium subscribers
- Legacy plans that previously included 4,000, 7,000, or 50,000 monthly credits
The offer is valid for users who subscribe before March 16. Eligible users will retain unlimited image and Firefly video generation benefits under the updated terms.
Impact and Scope
This update removes a key barrier for large-scale creative experimentation and production. By lifting generation limits, Adobe is targeting power users who rely on rapid iteration, AI-assisted storytelling, and high-volume content creation across digital platforms.
Expert Commentary
Industry analysts view this move as Adobe’s response to growing competition in the generative AI space. By bundling unlimited usage with paid plans and supporting multiple AI models, Adobe strengthens Firefly’s position as a centralized, enterprise-ready creative AI solution rather than a single-model generator.
Outlook
As generative AI adoption accelerates across creative industries, Adobe’s decision to eliminate credit caps could set a new standard for AI-powered design platforms. Further expansion of supported models and higher-resolution video output may follow as competition intensifies.
